Hi Wil:

Writelog does not use the WL_CTY.DAT file. There should be a file in your
writelog folder named "convert CTY to Writelog" .  When you run the program
it makes 6 new  .DAT files that are used  with Writelog. Make sure that
WL_CTY.DAT file is in your Programs directory when you run conversion
program.
